The U.S. State Department announced the extension of the truce between Lebanon and Israel for another 45 days. According to State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott, the parties made this decision during negotiations in the U.S. on May 14 and 15.

The next round of talks between the countries will take place on June 2 and 3.
"We hope these discussions will facilitate the establishment of lasting peace between the two countries, the full recognition of each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and the guaranteeing of genuine security along their shared border," Tommy Pigott wrote on X.
The previous truce between Lebanon and Israel was in effect since April 17. However, military actions continued de facto. The Lebanese army did not participate in the conflict, and the Shiite group "Hezbollah," which was not involved in the peace talks, acted against Israel.
